Tami’s notes
- You can prepare the creamy balsamic dressing in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The toppings, such as sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped walnuts, can also be prepped ahead of time to save assembly time when you’re ready to serve the salad.
